PBC Missions

Here are some prayer requests for Prestonwood's Missions currently going on:

Prison Outreach: On the weekend of Nov. 12–14, Prestonwood members will be sharing the Gospel with inmates in multiple prisons throughout DFW. Pray that the inmates would be open to the Gospel and that our people would share with boldness, humility and genuineness.

Prison Outreach: Prestonwood members are ministering to inmates and officers from eight different prisons and jails every month. Pray for continued favor with the officers and inmates in these prisons as we share the Gospel and disciple believers. Pray that God would strengthen and develop the ongoing ministries in each of these places with people, resources and prayer.

Prison Outreach: Each year, approximately 700,000 inmates reenter society. Of those, 70 percent will go back to prison or jail. However, many of those have come to know Christ while in prison. Pray that these would surround themselves with a community of believers to encourage and challenge them. Pray for God’s provision in the area of work, finances and housing.

Serve the City: Continue to pray for all those who will be ministered to during this weekend. Pray for those who are searching for a job, for single mothers who are struggling, and for widows and widowers who need help. Pray that God would call out the people of our church to help meet these needs.

Sudan Update: God worked in amazing ways on our recent trip to Kajo Keji, Sudan. Our Sudan mission team saw three churches started and three more established churches strengthened. Praise God for the 140 people who trusted in Christ for their salvation and followed Him in baptism. Please pray for the e3 Bible students who will be shepherding the churches.

Romania Update: Continue to pray for Troy Geddes, the IMB missionary with whom we serve in Romania, as he begins to disciple new believers in Braila, Romania. Pray also for the health of Troy's wife, Karla, as she we recently diagnosed with Lyme disease.
